The Meadows Pa Race 8 - Race 8 - 1609m
SFORZA (3) was expected to do a lot more last time out when seventh, beaten 12 metres, over 1609m at this track. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and he is capable of a much better performance. BOMBAY TOM (5) continued a strong run of recent form and deserved his win last start, scoring by 5 metres over 1609m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. REDWHITE N GOO (8) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 1609m at this track six days ago. BIGLY (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at this track last time out.

Returns from the paddock. Previously first up posted a big 6 m win (Fr5) at Duquoin State Fair (1:59.30) beating Gladiator in NW20KLT on September 12. Worth serious consideration.

Well beaten last start by Redwhite N Goo, who he meets again; when 45 metres eighth at this track over 1609m in a NW3500L4 race on August 13. Can't have on that basis.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr1) over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 m by Splendid (1:54.30) in NW6300L4 on August 20 at $73.70. Showed ability the race before when he won by a 0.8 m (Fr8) at Northfield Park (1:57.30) beating Dylan The Great in NW2500L4 on August 10 at $3.50. Forward showing expected.
